NEW! Connecting wireless devices

New to SPARKvue 2.4! Effortlessly connect the new line of PASCOwireless sensors with Bluetooth Smart Technology.The new PASCO wireless sensors and airlink are Bluetooth Smart enabled. They arequickly connected within SPARKvue and available for use without the need to per-form system Bluetooth pairing.

Tip: Some PASCO wireless sensors (such as the wireless pressure gauge) can alsoconnect via USB.

To Connect a PASCO wireless device1. Turn on the PASCO wireless sensor.

The sensor's Bluetooth light flashes red to indicate that it is broadcasting a sig-nal.

2. In SPARKvue, open the Wireless Devices window:

Tap or Click Wireless Devices.

After a moment, the PASCO wireless sensors are listed.

Tip: The devices closet to you appear at the top of the list.

3. Select the sensors you want to connect and tap or clickDone.

The sensor's Bluetooth light now flashes green to indicate that it is connected.

4. Select any of the sensor's measurements from the Home screen or within dis-plays.

Note: A Bluetooth Smart wireless device (sensor) can connect to one host at a timeand must remain within approximately 10 meters. (The sensor will not show in thelist if connected to another host.)

SPARKvue is designed to become the center of your school's discovery-based sci-ence learning environment, providing both teacher and student the embedded sup-port for exploring scientific concepts.

SPARKvue includes free pre-installed SPARKlabs™ — standards-based guidedinquiry labs in a unique electronic notebook format. These SPARKlabs integrate back-ground content, data collection and analysis, even assessment —all within the sameenvironment. Everything you need is right there in context.

Getting started

There are four basic ways to start an investigation in SPARKvue.

Tip: To get started quickly and learn SPARKvue, plug in a sensor and use: Show.

Show – quickly start data collection

Quick-build SPARKlab pages (graph, digits, table, and meter) for an available meas-urement (such as Sound Intensity), depending on the sensors.

Tip: Great method to quickly get started with a measurement. Just tap or click themeasurement you want from the Home screen.

n Connecting a sensor through a Digital Adapter or Photogate Portn Connecting a sensor through an Analog Adapter

Connecting a sensor through a Digital Adapter or Photogate PortThe Digital Adapter (PASCO part PS-2159) allows digital switch-type sensors suchas photogates and smart pulleys to be connected to a PASPORT interface and usedwith SPARKvue . It also allows the use of a ScienceWorkshop Motion Sensor (CI-6742A) or Rotary Motion Sensor (CI-6538).

The Photogate Port (PS-2123) is a type of adapter that supports switch-type sensors,but not the Rotary Motion Sensor or Motion Sensor.

Complete these steps to connect and configure a sensor with a Digital Adapter or Pho-togate Port:

1. Connect the adapter to your PASPORT interface.2. Connect a digital sensor to the adapter.

You can connect a switch-type sensor to either port of the adapter.If you are connecting a Motion Sensor or Rotary Motion Sensor, connect the yel-low plug to Port 1 and the black plug to Port 2. A list of digital sensors andsensor configurations appears.

3. Optionally, connect a second switch-type sensor to the other port of the adapter.4. In the list, tap or click one of the sensors or configurations to select it and tap or

click OK.You may need to tap or click the arrows to scroll the list.

5. If SPARKvue prompts you to enter one or more measurements specific to yourequipment, enter the value or values and tap or click OK. The measurementsthat you enter will be used to compute data such as the velocity of an objectpassing through a photogate.

Connecting a sensor through an Analog AdapterThe Analog Adapter (PASCO part PS-2158) allows analog ScienceWorkshopsensors to be connected to a PASPORT interface and used with SPARKvue .

Complete these steps to connect and configure a sensor with an Analog Adapter:

1. Connect the Analog Adapter to your PASPORT interface.2. Connect an analog sensor to the adapter.

A list of sensors appears.

3. Tap or Click one of the sensors to select it and tap or click OK.You may need to tap or click the arrows to scroll the list.

What is Connect

Connect in SPARKvue allows multiple users to share data from the shared sensorsas the data is collected. Sessions can be Guided or Unguided. See Starting a Con-nect session.

Guided Guided sessions allow a user to control the lab as it progresses. Theother session participates follow along in the guided session.

UnguidedUnguided sessions allow each user to control their own lab session (forexample select page, scaling graphs). The data is still shared across theusers in the session.

Tip: Sessions can be changed from Guided to Unguided at any time inthe lab. (Cannot be changed from Unguided to Guided.)
